- Abstract
Edmonton, Alberta is a city of perpetual change. This continues with the quest for sustainability, as the City
has committed itself to re-develop the lands of the municipal airport, which is intended to become a model
neighbourhood for 30,000 residents. The current proposal calls for a pedestrian oriented, intensive mixed-use
urbanism, except this appears as a site wide strategy of homogeneous zones with a reliance on public
transportation. Sustainability cannot be achieved without pedestrianization. A new method of design is required
that represents a combination of Master Planning and Architecture. Both examine the same central ideas, but from
different perspectives. A circular, multidisciplinary process is required so that each discipline can influence and
respond to the other. The proposal is, to use research and design to demonstrate the connection between master
planning and architecture, and by doing so suggest a different mode of thinking that could lead to a pedestrian
environment for the ECCA.
